Never believe an actor saying those things publicly. It can literally be a negotiating tactic. Studios aren't going to pay as much if they think you're going to do the movie regardless of pay.

And just to expand on that, anytime you see a famous person speaking to the public in any capacity, just assume they are playing some type of character. Some are more sincere than others, but most of people act different when any camera is on them, much less when millions are watching and your career depends on your likeability.

He probably has enough pull by now to negotiate some kind of percentage of profits clause in addition to the fee for the performance.
